Episode 2 (March 19, 2021): Dean Burry and I talk about writing opera for kids (and with kids), composers as storytellers, program music, R. Murray Schafer, John Cage, Spider-Man comics and the puppet plays Dean performed as a child, among other things...
Fresh Sounds / Open Ears is an interview podcast about composition and music education, hosted by composer Alex Eddington. Every episode, I have a conversation with a different Canadian composer - with a focus on their writing for/with young and amateur musicians.
